Old Town Fairfax is always a sight for sore eyes during the holidays.  This year is no different!  Many of our small businesses have decorated their storefront windows in a Winter Wonderland theme for you to enjoy.  They may also want your vote.  You see, there is a contest for the best decorated windows.

Participants in the Holiday Window Decorating Contest have signed up with the Fairfax City Economic Development Office and the Old Town Fairfax Business Association to compete for prizes, namely the People’s Choice Award and the Fairfax City Council Award.

The People’s Choice Award will come from visitors and admirers of the windows at the stores, with a flyer and QR code hung right in the window itself.  Simply scan the QR code and vote for your favorite window.

For participating, you will be entered to win a $25 Gift Card to redeem at your favorite Fairfax City business*.  First place will win digital marketing and consulting services valued at $1,500 for the business to utilize.  This award is useful to just about any small business, increasing their digital presence, and the service will be conducted between the consultant and the small business for their best and optimal use.

The Fairfax City Council Award first prize will be the same, with winners selected by our elected Fairfax City Councilmembers.

Voting begins Sat. Dec. 11 and the contest runs until Jan. 3, 2022.
